On 22 February, Ambassador Zhang Junsai attended a dinner organized by the Global Foundation in Sydney as honorary guest. More than twenty guests from Australian business community, think tanks and Chinese companies in Australia were present.

Ambassador Zhang spoke about China’s economic and social development and China-Australia relations at the dinner, and answered questions on Chinese investments in Australia, China-Australia people-to-people exchanges and climate change. He stressed the solid foundation, strong economic complementarity and broad common interests between the two countries. He said China and Australia enjoyed a wide prospect for cooperation. They should further strengthen exchanges and dialogues at various levels for better understanding and closer cooperation and take further bilateral relations. Ambassador hoped business communities would serve as a bridge and bring the two countries and their peoples closer.
